The Centurion Traralgon, Victoria, Australia
By chefs on the run on 31-Mar-05. Waypoint GCN9RF

11 months is a long "soon", if you get around to putting it back, send an email and I'll have a look at it.

Somehow slipped through my pocket queries. Went looking today but no change to the state of this cache.

Dear Chefs on the run. I have bad news for you. The centurion has been slain! His body is lying on the ground. Watch out for the enemy approaching. I took his pulse and could not find one. I managed to retrieve his hidden treasure and will keep it safe till we meet.
HUNTERS BEWARE!!!! THERE IS NO CACHE AT THIS LOCATION!
Regards

seems the tree fell over and crisp image saved it up and running soon!

Such a busy place! Found at 9:05pm, with a steady stream of cars emerging from the nearby establishment.

Took the BYO pencil geocoin, and left a tyre pressure gauge. Thanks!

A nice easy find whilst passing through to the new borough.
Dropped off Fire Engine to hose down the nearby sign, and took a red racing car, ideal for the nearby race track / freeway.
SL, TFTC

Went to drop off a coin bound for ACT and couldn't help myself - I picked up Welcome us in coin.

Had a spare minute so dropped in geocoin and took, with misgivings huge travelbug.

Just dropped off a TB

6/7/2007 1645 hrs.

Found by Studit & Bradester. A good one for Bradester's 1st find.
Good spot.
Took bouncy ball left 8 ball keychain,
Studit remembers when it was Vitoriano's.
Does the chef still work there?

An easy find this morning our 6th and our 2nd chefs cache on our non-caching weekend away. However putting it back proved quite difficult on a Saturday morning as the owners would know.
Took TB Race to Pelham and Leroy's Aussie geocoin.
Left keeper of time.

Stopped at the Latrobe Valley airport with the aim of doing some flying but it was way too windy to do so. I hung out there for a while and then decided to go find some caches. I was surprised that this one was not far away.

Found this one pretty easily, but didn't have a pen, so I went and bought one and came back to log it... only to find a pen inside! Sigh...

Anyway, managed to cram "Race to Pelham" TB in there. Let's give this TB the scenic route back to USA, shall we?

Thanks for the hide!

Cheers, Bert

Found at 1735 with friend as darkness was approaching. A quick easy find which is good for those just starting out in treasure hunting. TNLN Thanks

Members of Morwell State emergency service found this cache while on a GPS training exercise. Thanks for your assistance in training the members of this vital service.

Just called in to drop off coin from Bendigo Gathering "LeRoys Aussie Coin". They wanted "Great Food" so I guess a restaurant is as good a place as any. Regards,

Nice easy find, thanx Chefs
Had to avoid the gaze of little old lady (always the nosiest), but she wandered on past oblivious.

Found by sbalogh53 on 9/4/07 at around 1500.
Easy find. Looks like a nice restaurant opposite.
Picked up HiHo travel bug to bring closer to Melbourne. TNLN

Our second find for the day on our way to Apollo Bay.
Found a bug inside but decided to leave him as he wasn't going our way.

Just passing while working in the area. TNLNSL. Thanks again Chefs.

It is shameful that it has taken me 2.5 weeks to get around to finding this one despite living next door, but now I have.

Nice easy one, TNLN.

Thanks chefs.

Dropped in to drop off HiHo on her trip to the UK.

Last of four finds for the day on a whirlwind family visit. Came in from the north and didn't understand the name of the cache until leaving. TNLN. Thanks for the cache.

2nd of 8. Found at 12.40pm by knot_gillty jr. Had aussieRAVer along for a day of caching and he "helped" out. some muggles walking passed gave us funny look so we made out the kids were going to the loo behind a tree! Took skipping rope, Left Shelby cobra matchbox car. aussieRAVer took t/b tinkerbell

Nice easy find on a summy day. Added soem more paper so it should be ok for a few more entries at least. Thanks Chefs on the run.

Picked up TB Tinker Bell the other day, took to SA & back but didn't have a chance to drop off so placed it in cache.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Very quick drive by at 2.30pm.

Dear Chefs,

We found your cache today at 3:10pm as the twelfth of fifteen on our Gippsland Power Play Day. The easiest Chefs find of the day. I pretended not to see so "A" could find it. And I thought I had heard about the last cache for a long while but this one.... We had stayed in the nearby caravan park a couple of years ago. Thanks for the cache.

Kind Regards,

D,H & A B-A

11am King and Queen Solomon snr - on the road travelling home. TFTC.

Heading into Gippsland to visit a friend who works in RT at the nearby hospital, this was a very convenient location. The reason for the name also became apparent. Took a party popper; Left a green dino keyclip. Thanks for a quickie.

My first cache. Took car, left S.E.S pen. Thanks Chefs

Found this one easily in the dark. T: bubbles. L: car
Thanks. Nice little detour on the way.

Found 11:05, TNLN, thanks chefs on the run.

Found it! obvious when you look at the suroundings. I don't know if this one will be there for much longer. I think the land was sold recently so someone may build on it. Colud be wrong though.
Had fun. Took stone left clothes peg

A nice easy cache on the way home from Traralgon.

Another one down for my local area.

Found this one today at 11.00am and a good size cache it is too.!Always thought this cache was going to be something to do with a a large Roman monument or some famous cricketer who had a monunent about his century achievements,but it was as simple as what was across the road .Any activities here in the pre-married days ???Nice cache ,good hide and thanks to the super cooks !TNLN

This was our first attempt at finding a cache. Found it and removed a saber spoon and replaced it with a party popper and party whistle. There was a great sense of achievement when found.

The Mackas

Well there you go, never knew this bit of land was there. Took a wombat, left a post card. Thank you.

Even though this was Joe Possum's first find it was no problem to a possum. Took one small balloon of many to celebrate the first find. Thanks Chefs On The Run.

Found by edmil & maddie. Nice quick and easy find TNLN

Found at 1.35pm GAFF1. A quick stop and a quick swap - took glitter, left teaspoon. Thanks Chefs - and now onto the high country for the weekend!

Nice easy find after the frustration of 2 DNF's. Long way to go to work.
Took: Glitter Pen, Left: Wombat
Thanks, Robmc.

Today was the day to complete some of the caches relatively close to home. Despite the heavy traffic in the area it was pretty deserted when it came to search for the cache. An easy find, which is not a bad thing! Thanks!

Our first stop on our Australia Day trip from Melbourne - Ulladulla, this was an easy find and we can now see why it was called The Centurion!

Sunny the Sandgroper travel bug was a little too big for this cache, so he just watched us while we left Carrot #95.

I recently noticed this cache was very close to my place of work. So how could I resist a quick mid week find. Easily found after waiting a moment for several cars to disappear.

Took small bell, left key ring.

Thanks Chef's on the run. I waved just in case you were watching!

Another find for The Rebel Alliance. Thanks

Cache twenty for the day in the company of Dak Emu. The cache was found at 22:40.
This was a nice easy cache to finish the day. We covered it up when we left as it was rather exposed. I would have liked to have checked in and gone to sleep at this location.
Thanks.

Last of 21 finds with acts2youthgroup on our "Big Day Out in Walhalla". After some of those Walhalla caches, it was a pleasure to log a nice easy drive-by cache to round off the day. We found the cache by torchlight at 2240. It was hardly covered at all. We covered it properly before we left, but it will still be an easy find for future cachers. I had wondered why the cache was so named, but once on site, all was clear. Thanks to chefs on the run for the cache.

IN: Bubbles blower
OUT: Glitter glue

nice easy find good one to start off with. cheers

Quick Easy Find

I'm starting to run out of non-suspicious near highway activities to undertake in the name of geocaching. I'm sure cars line up waiting for me to get out of my car and wander along the roadside with my 'I'm not doing anything wrong despite how it looks' walk. I did do a swap, but once again my memory has failed me. I must write these things down, but I keep forgetting to. I'm sure it was highly appropriate and in keeping with the theme, however. Thanks Chefs

ps a gnocchi recipe sounds familiar.

as the clue says, nice and easy to find,busy road though i bet the people in cars thought i was mad looking behind trees but we found it.

took the corner clips and left a golf ball


thanx again mc coffee and coffee clan

This was a nice quick find. No exchange was made. Thanks for the cache.

Nice easy cache. Out shopping with the kids. They loved hunting through the goodies. Took slinky, left box of corner clips. Busy spot and I wondered if chef was working today. Thanks.

Found with SquashedFrog. Took recipe and left small umbrella. Thanks

Nice drive up cache. The only problem was getting the car door opened as the wind was so strong.

Just missed grabbing TB by a day - to take it to WA. Team Cruiser has took it. Nevermind, there will always be another TB around. This cache is not far from my relatives - we are visiting from WA. Thanks for fun and cache.

.

Stopped by on the way to Traralgon. Dropped in Mic Check TB picked up from "All along the watchtower". From a ruined castle in Northern Ireland to a gum tree in Australia. Took green frog and streamers to make way for the TB. Tks Chefs OTR

Dropped in and grabbed this one on the way past. We know this area quite well as one of the guys that does fireworks part time works at the nearby airfield
Took earplugs
Left Monkey
Thanks Chefs

g'day team cruiser here
well this was a nice and easy cache to start our day off on and close to home we took the yellow hi-lighter and left a lady beetle candle

It was a nice afternoon with muggles everywhere. It is hard to look inconspicuious in this area, so when we found it we made a quick dash back to the car to fill in the log and make swaps, followed by another quick dash to replace it.
Took Ladybug Candle, left Mini Slinky.

A last minute decision to head out with the GSP, take Ellie's mind off her VCE English exam today and get her away from the books for awhile. A very busy spot with lots of Muggles about but we managed. Thanks Chef

A nice easy find. We swapped the Canadian coins for a small ball.

This will be our last for the day as it's getting dark and we still have some way to travel.

Thanks Chefs

Found one foggy morning on a visit to see our daughter. Quick easy find near a busy road. I couldn't believe the amount of traffic but I guess everyone was heading off to work.Made a trade but as usual I've forgotten what! Thanks Chefs

Found it, forgot to bring a pen (duh!) so scrawled our initials with a glitter pen that someone thoughtfully left in it. Took a popper, left some streamers.

Hello Chef Type Person,

I found your cache on sunday the 3rd of july at about 2.30pm.

I thought that seeing as how you found my latest caches i'd have a go at finding one of yours.

It was like i like 'em, not too hard to find when i don't have a lot of time to spare. I felt a little exposed standing by the road as the sunday traffic was zooming past, particularly since i was supposed to be at work!

I wondered if you were at work across the road (i assume that's the place you work) watching me wandering around in the shrubbery, ha ha. I had a meal there the other day perhaps you prepared it for us, either way it was very yummy.

Took the yellow hairy plastic alien looking thing and left a packet of (unused) ear plugs.

Thanks Chef. [^]

Deciding to head home the long way we stopped of for this cache.
After a quick search Shelby found the cache while I plotted a new course for the next.
Many thanks to Chefs on the Run for the cache
Taken recipe cards – Left super ball and spikey ball.
Regards Mr.Coffee and the “strike him centurion, very roughly†Clan.

Found by Ray and Maya at 1:58PM on the 20th of May, on our way to Sale to watch some model jet turbine aircraft over the weekend. Nice break in the journey. Maya took a glitter glue stick and left some bells. Thanks from The Nomads.

Found by Mary & David at 0900. Stayed overnight in Moe after picking up two Dash caches yesterday. Didn't look like there were any chefs about nearby today. Found without delay and delighted to see the new recipes. Took one for zucchini slice, left a Canadian cent coin. Our thanks to chefs on the run.

Troopers first, first. Easy find although you need to be careful due to the amount of traffic in the area. Had nothing that would fit in cache so TNLN. Thanks chef, you are right there are not many caches in this area, I hope to remedy that myself in the near future when work permits.
